Is it REALLY quad-core, or is it two cores with the 
ridiculous "hyper-threading" stupidity?
If it is really 2-core, then you want to turn off the 
hyper-threading, it slows the available
virtual cores to 50% speed.

I have generally found that these are the same OEM parts that you get from
bitsnbits and other US distributers.

Hmm, not sure LinuxCNC can really use more than 2 cores, 
most of the time.

Re: [Emc-users] is anyone here buyingbfrom aliexpress?

[Gary Crowell]

I've bought several dozen small (<$20) items from there.  Delivery is
usually a week or so but sometimes just a few days; sometimes a few weeks.
I don't think I've ever not gotten an order.  A lot of times I'll see some
gadget on Amazon or MPJA, Jameco, and then look on Ali to find the exact
same thing, at half the price, and usually with free shipping.

Technical specifications are usually sparse, and often wrong.  Takes some
figuring out sometimes.

Generally I'd say it's worth it once you get past the odd signup and
ordering scheme.

I purchase some things there.  Delivery on small stuff is fast, some stuff
is slow.

I find it is like buying from Walmart, expect low quality and be
happily surprised by some.

I used a board with the same processor.  Different brand, but it worked very
well.

Does anyone have any experience with this motherboard? I am thinking about
using it on my upcoming builds. I like it since it is a J1900 and a Micro
ATX which gives additional PCI express slots.

a PS of sorts: I went back thru it all the 4th time, and managed to 
complete the process, finally. I think what I was running into was the 
size limit, 20 characters, I just checked the count and it was 23. The 
captcha does display, but the server is slow so it takes a couple 
minutes before it shows up here.  Hell of a way to run a train IMO.

Now we get to see how long it takes to get here in the middle of the 
holiday rush. Our USPO's 3 day priority express for small packages is 
only 6 business days getting here from south Florida, perhaps 700 miles 
away. Speedy, for an ox-cart. I've driven it in a looong day. :)
